Tips & Variations

If you prefer to use a light cream rather than a heavy cream you can. It just won’t be as rich, but still just as tasty.
Using freshly grated Parmesan will help to avoid a gritty sauce. The shakers of pre-shredded Parmesan doesn’t usually melt as nicely.
The pasta will absorb the liquids pretty quickly and as it sits, the sauce will thicken up. If you’re not ready to serve it right away, you may need to add an extra splash of cream to loosen it up.
Add veggies if you like! Things like sun-dried tomatoes, spinach, broccoli, bell peppers, peas, etc.
If you like bacon, toss in some cooked bacon at the end.
Use any kind of pasta you prefer. Linguine, fettuccine, fusilli, penne, bow tie pasta, etc.

Ingredients Needed

Butter: I use butter (and a bit of oil) to brown the chicken. It adds a great buttery flavor to the sauce.
Chicken breast or thighs: Cut into 1-inch pieces.
Seasoning: Ground coriander, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
Garlic: Adding finely chopped garlic adds a lovely garlicky flavor to the Alfredo sauce. Feel free to increase the amount as desired.
Chicken broth: This is to help thin out the sauce and is the liquid the pasta needs to cook!
Heavy cream: Adds richness and creaminess to the chicken Alfredo one pot recipe!
Pasta: I like brown rice pasta, but any short or medium pasta will work.
Parmesan cheese: I recommend shredding your own fresh Parmesan as it melts much better and tastes better than the store-bought shakers.
Finely chopped parsley: For garnish.
